How to Save Instagram Reels to Your Phone

Instagram doesn’t offer a built-in save button for other people’s Reels. Here’s how to keep one in full quality.

Steps

1. Open the Reel, tap the ••• (or paper-plane) icon and choose Copy link.
2. Paste the link into the Instagram saver and press Download.
3. Pick the video and save it to your camera roll.

iPhone vs Android

The process is the same in any mobile browser. On iPhone, the file lands in Files or Photos; on Android, it goes to your Downloads folder.

Only public content

Reels from public accounts can be saved. Private accounts are not accessible.
